“As the UK’s Shadow Digital Secretary I have recently been making the argument that the social media companies have failed to regulate hate speech and harm on their platforms. It is clear, as I am sure you are aware, that UK legislators are now moving rapidly towards introducing legal regulatory powers to deal with this those who seek to use the garb of freedom of speech to, instead, preach violent hate with the aim of damaging and undermining our society.”

Watson also made it clear his anger is with Robinson’s rapidly growing popularity:

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon's YouTube subscribers have jumped from 294,000 to 330,000 in the four days since his ban from Facebook. It is imperative that YouTube now follows suit and ends the use of its platform by this preacher of hate.https://t.co/wMvh5k02Tf

While Watson’s trying to use accusations of “racism” and “Islamophobia” to get Tommy Robinson banned, he’s also trying to use accusations of “antisemitism” to oust the leader of his own party, Jeremy Corbyn:

For too long our processes for dealing with racism and abuse have failed. If correct,this story suggests unacceptable political interference in dealing with antisemitism cases. I will be urgently consulting with colleagues before giving a fuller response. https://t.co/X9pv1NrV3B
